PERSONAL ANn PECULIAR,

Here is Witty toast attributed to George
Francis Traii in lucid interval: SIN an are
like ours this should be standiag toast
with all good Union men: The la,lIrs- May

The Germans are endcay0ring To substi-
tute population of their own for the
French inabitants Of Alsace- Lorraine. From
1880 to 1885, $1,000 German emigrants dis
placed $4,000 natives. On the same ratio. the
province will be completely Germanized in
quarter OF a century.
Mr.. Garland is only six years below the
limit of age of the confirmation of a Justice
of the Supreme Court This objection is
trivial however, when compared with the
other notorious reasons why the Senate can
not be expected to indorse his appointment
TO such an Office in case the President shall
thus favor him.
Canon Wilberforce was surprised that no
marble tomb enclosed the remains of Wash
lngton which repose in brick vault. Mrs.
Laughton, regent of the Mount Vernon AS
ISOLATION, explains that the wish of Wash
lngton, as expressed in his will, has been
scrupulously followed in the construction
and arrangement of his last resting place.
Senator Kenna of West Virginia has great
resources as a political campaigner. When
he starts out on an electioneering tour he
carries with him violin and a Photographic
outfit. 1t is said that he has photographed
during the last few years at least two thirds
OF his rural constituents. In the mountain
Gus districts of West Virginia combination
OF camera and fiddle is simply irresistible.
George Francis Train has thrown a legal
bomb-shell into the blooming city of Omaha
in the shape of a suit for six hundred acres
OF its valuable land, estimated at $4,000, 900.
Great CONSERVATION prevails. Citizen Train
bought the land in 1865, and he claims TO
still hold the title. He was the prophet of
Omaha's future greatness, and did much to
make her good points known to the world.
A man died of starvation in a Liverpool
England prison last week. He was arrest
ed for alleged drunkenness, and died during
the night in his CELL The sapient officer who
ran him in was astounded ON being informed
by the police doctor that the man had died
OF starvation and that he was exhausted and
not drunk when arrested. No wonder the
emigrant ships are crowded.
The success of Ensigns c. II. Hewes and
w. l.. Caps, who were, Immediately after
graduation at the Naval Academy, sent to
Glasgow University to take an advanced
course in construction and marine architec-
ture, is exceedingly gratifying to the secre-
tary of the navy. The two young men, it
has been learned, stand first and second in a
very large class. At the close of the term
they took all of the principal prizes.

through rates from Hong Kong to Quebec.
There isno reason to doubt that very soon,
when the great crews now working in North
ern Maine shall have completed the Short
Line, freight may be taken from Hong Kong
to Liverpool, ria Vancouver, Montreal, Mat
tawamkeag and Halifax, or perhaps ria Mon
treal and Portland. The English statesmen.
as well as the English merchants. are al
ready talking of the benefits England is to
derive from a new route to the East that
shall rival the Cape and Suez routes 1t will
be equally useful for British merchandise
and munitions of war; So far the work has
gone on very quietly, and the Eastern end Of
the line has gone to work without much of a
stir. But it is all in accordance with more
magnificent plan than has yet been widely
heralded. In England they are expecting to
add to this freight, passenger and mail ser
vice telegraph service reaching from Lon
don, under the Atlantic, to Vancouver
thence to all the British possessions in Asia
and Australasia. This will give England
what she has not now, line of telegraph
exclusively her own to her eastern posses
sions
Meanwhile, until the grand Canadian Pa
ciIic system gets to working, the western end
OF the line deyotes itself to competing with
our own railroads and steamship line in
hauling teas.

Ihere Is mourning in many other places
beside the wlgwam of the Ellsworth collec-
tor Besides abolishing the collectorships of
Maine, Vermont and Rhode Island, Presi-
dent Cleveland did away with nineteen 9TH
ers In various parts of the country. Della
ware, Mississippi and Nevada have also lost
their separate collectors. This consolida-
ton of districts is in the line of the policy
pursued by previous administrations. In
1862, at the beginning of the present revenue
system, the President established, In accord
ance with the law, collection district for
every Congressional district. Each district
had its assessor and collector to perform the
great labor of assessing and collecting the
great revenue that was derived from in
comes, jewelry, pianos, promissory notes,
etc., during the last years OF the war. After
time, as taxes were abolished, the assessors
were dropped then districts were consoli
dated. A whole State instead of single Con-
gressional districts, began TO be included in
the limits Of single district Now Presi-
dent Cleveland has included several States
in single district. and Maine has become a
part Of the New Hampshire district. This
historical sketch Of the changes that have
antedated President Cleveland's order may
not soothe Collector Redman's feelings They
simply show him that 1.-THE Maine collection
district, on which he staked some hopes, has.
from the very nature of the reform which
President Cleyeland's Republican predeces
sors suggested and carried forward as soon
as needful, all along been something evanes-
cent. AS Mr.. Redman has good recommend
atoms and win be likely soon to have an op-
portunity to take his pick Of other lucrative
public.of1ces. he will doubtless choose some
thing that is likely 10 have about it few signs
OF worldly change. We would recommend
to him a.place in one of our Maine Lighthouse
es. Unless the Dunn free ship bill should
happen to pass, there is likely to be neces
sity for retaining the lighthouses on the
coast Of Maine for years to come. The only
thing about this plan that need trouble Col
lector Redman is the fact that the men in
the lighthouse service are generally selected
for fitness rather than for political and parti-
san activity

OUR LITTLE GRANDCHILD.
Cleansed, Purified, and Beautifled by
the Cuticura Remedies.

1t affords me pleasure to give you this report of
tie cure Of our little grandchild by your CUTIcU-
RIA REMEDIES. When six months old his left hand
began to swell and had every appearance of a
large boil. We poulticed it, but ali to no purpose
About 1--WE mouths after it became a running sore.
soon other sores formed. He then had two of
them on each hand, and as his blood became more
and more impure 1t took less time for them to
break out. A sore came on the chin beneath the
under up, which was very offensive. His head was
one solid scab, dscharging great deal. This was
MS condition at twenty-five. months old, when
undertook the care OF him, his mother having died
wnen ne was little more than year old, of con-
sumption (scrofula of course). He could walk a
little, but could not get up If he fell down, and
could not move when In bed having no use of his
hands. Immediately commenced with the CUTI-
CURA REMEDIES using the CUTICURA and CuTI-
cURA SOAP freely, and when he had taken one
Dottle OF the CUTICURA REsOLyENT, his head was
completely cured, and he was improved in every
way. We were very much encouraged and con-
tln 1a me use OF the Remedies for year and a
